Oh, I believe it. I'm flabbergasted as to why it's not getting along with my phone. Anything that I've flashed after 141 bootloops within 10 minutes on any kernel.

I want to do another run of FORMAT_ALL and reformat my SD card. It's probably overdue, but I'm damn lazy.
[EVO 4G General] drdrewdown:
if you do reformat the sdcard, look at creating the sd-ext partition & moving apps over using S2E. a lot of people love that config.

just thought maybe that would help motivate ya lol
[EVO 4G General] ChickenArise:
I've done that, actually, but I don't think I did it correctly. Well, the short version is that I only vaguely recall formatting it, and S2E works well, but recovery etc don't see a proper sd-ext. It's definitely a motivating factor since I'm running low on space again. Maybe 1-2GB of sd-ext is a better idea than 512MB :cool:

Anyone know what needs to be done to enable 802.11n on the latest nightlies?
[EVO 4G General] drdrewdown:
last i saw it was working for me, why do you believe its not?
[EVO 4G General] medicnick:
I have two APs, one 2 and one 5 ghz. Is it kernel controlled?
[EVO 4G General] Headcase_Fargone:
Whoa, the Evo's wifi radio supports 5ghz spectrum? First I've heard of that. Or are you confusing 802.11N with 5ghz? 802.11N works on 2.4ghz as well.

Does anyone know how to unroot the evo. I used unrevoked3. I tried the 2 step process and that didnt work. Thanks. When I flashed the unrevoked-forever-son.zip file it keeps saying installation aborted
[EVO 4G General] drdrewdown:
make sure you are using a compatible radio version when trying to do forever-son

How would I find that out. I know this goes under another post but I'm not getting any responses. Thanks

So after experiencing horrible battery life with the 2.3.5 builds no matter which kernel I tried I restored back to 2.3.4. I now have awesome battery life once again. I know a few other people around these parts were having similar issues. Did anyone figure out what was going on?
[EVO 4G General] drdrewdown:
nah there's nothing going on based on 2.3.5...

as usual, these claims have no evidence
[EVO 4G General] DraginMagik:
2.3.5 (cm152) has been fine for me. similar battery life to 2.3.4. using stock or SZ221 kernels.
[EVO 4G General] Headcase_Fargone:
I don't recall claiming there was an issue with 2.3.5. I said that I had horrible battery life after flashing a nightly based on it and noticed that a few other posters here noted the same thing. I asked if they had found a solution.

So what was the point of your post?
[EVO 4G General] drdrewdown:
the point was that there aren't any problems with battery life on 2.3.5 & the fact that you dont provide any evidence to your falsified claims. there is no "fix" because there is no problem.

it sucks that you're having poor battery life, but meaningless posts about it don't help anyone. provide some information so we can try & help, or figure it out on your own if you aren't gonna help us help you.

good day
[EVO 4G General] DraginMagik:
it could be just one of those times where your phone didn't take the update cleanly or perhaps is time for a full wipe.

just cause i don't have an issue does not mean there is no issue. although drdrew has a point when it comes to detailing out your symptoms and attempted fixes...the more information that is provided the better.

has anyone else noticed that lack of activity after the latest kernel source was released? i was hoping to get some new AOSP kernels...maybe get the camera working nice and good battery life (like we had with cm6).
[EVO 4G General] Headcase_Fargone:
You seem awfully defensive, especially in this post before you edited it. I don't recall asking for your help, either.

I was asking those here that have stated they're in the same boat I am if they had found any causes/solutions to the perceived (happy now?) lack of battery life in the more recent nightlies.

Sense drivers on AOSP?

Is there a way to install CDMA phone drivers from Sense on AOSP rom? The call quality with CM drivers is atrocious, there is a heavy lag when the calls are connecting and sometime incoming calls go straight to voicemail, even in areas with good reception. I've heard from several people they've switched back to Sense just because of these issues, and I'm wondering if there is a way to make a flashable zip of Sense CDMA radio drivers and flash them on AOSP.

Alright. I am still on 2.3.4 nightly right now and reading the thread for the last couple weeks had made me weary to jump over to the latest nightly because of people concerns of battery and possible kernel issues. Is the kernel not updated a myth issue or is it credible. I am very happy with tiamat with what I have, but I also like being current. I know there has been heated discussion over this, that is why I am hoping to get a good feel from community what I should do.

Are you talking about Pro HDR Camera

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.eyeappsllc.prohdr

The description says it doesn't work with CM7. The reviews for it doesn't seem promising either.
[EVO 4G General] fiddy619:
No, it's just called HDR camera (it's by Almalence), it's a free version, and it works great on cm7 (I'm still on N130, as I haven't seen any features released enticing me to update).

Any word on the next stable build? It's been awhile since CM came out with a stable build. Once we get one I really want to try the sixaxis controller app so I can rub it in the iphone 4 and future iphone 5 users faces.
[EVO 4G General] Headcase_Fargone:
Some here will tell you it's a myth. I honestly can't say one way or the other. I can just tell you that I experienced much shorter battery life when actually using the phone (stand-by remained fine) after switching to a 2.3.5 nightly. I tried Tiamat SBC versions 3.3.7, 4.0.5 and 4.0.6 as well as the stock CM7 kernel with similar results from each.

It wasn't until I restored back to a 2.3.4 build that I've gotten my excellent (for an Evo) battery life back.

[EVO 4G General] s2kdriver:
You know, that is a really good question that I have been researching for an answer ever since I have purchased the Evo. I have no gripes when it comes to Wifi, GPS, and Bluetooth. I have Wifi at work and at home and can run 36 hours most times without a charge. What gets my goat is the atrocious CDMA reception and battery life. I can watch it run down at my favorite watering hole. It reminds me of my Touch Pro when ever I enabled EVDO. Slurpppp!

It seems like the CDMA has never really been looked into. The actual hardware is a Qualcomm RTR6500 and is described as a "CDMA2000 Transceiver w/GPS" with Triquint TQM13029 and TQM613029 CDMA power amp and duplexer modules respectively. I have been unable to locate either the driver or even an API that communicates with the hardware. Also, I haven't seen any active development in this area.

I know the EVO is quickly reaching the twilight era of its active developmental lifecycle, but d*mn this is the same hardware used in other devices, some of which are current (i.e. Evo Shift 4G, Blackberry Storm, etc.)

I wished HTC had gone with the ZeroIC poweramps, which claim up to 75% less power requirements and better thoughput than the Triquents. But, price point dictates, I guess.

Sorry for the over-the-top technical description (boring I know), but the response to your question is - I just don't know, but I haven't gave up the chase yet.

So for those of you with SMS working without handcent what recovery are you using to wipe and install? Honestly I don't think it matters but I just want to see if there is a consensus. I've wiped, installed stock roms, nothing works. Right after an install without installing anything, 160+ SMS will not work. Is there anything I left out?
[EVO 4G General] MrDSL:
I use clockwork and clear data and cache then I go in partition and manually format the /system/ then install from there.
[EVO 4G General] paulieb81:
+1

Same here, sometimes if I am feeling lazy, I will just use clockwork to do the backup, wipe and install for me in one step. I like the option it has now to add zip so you can install more than one thing at a time automatically.
[EVO 4G General] timtlm:
Well, for question 1, I would guess you could remove all the apps except for the vending.apk from the gapps.zip and then flash that. Or, you could try just extracting the vending.apk and installing it. However, there are other apps in there that can't just be downloaded from the market like gmail, talk, youtube, etc. If you search this thread for custom gapps, you will find someone who made a custom gapps zip without all the unnecessary programs that you can download from the market yourself, but it's not updated with the latest google search and voice search.

Question 2, I believe that is supposed to be the power widget, but for some reason it doesn't load on first boot.
[EVO 4G General] MrDSL:
I use to do that till I found out cyanogen doesn't really wipe the /system/ or whatever so I format it before installing.
[EVO 4G General] jrmithdobbs:
I use amonra and wipe cache/dalvik and haven't formatted /system or /data since the 7/31 nightly or so. Texts >160 chars work fine for me and always have. PRI 1.40_003, PRL 60669, newest radio/etc (not that that should matter).

Just saw the update in the OP. I'm pretty disappointed about the lack of 4G.

One would assume that there would be more than one individual working on 4G, especially considering the impending release of the Epic 4G.

Perhaps it's time to get a donation pool going for 4G. That may convince the CM6 team to allocate more resources toward its development. Thoughts?

I am sure that this has been covered before but...

I have been using google voice in a non-integrated fashion using CM7. I just did a fresh install (I kept running out of storage space) & when I was installing google voice, it said something about integration, I thought I chose not to integrate & now when I send a text message, it sends from my google voice number not my sprint cell phone number.

In the past, I would send a text, it would show up in my stock CM7 sms app.

So I sent my wife a few messages & I didnt realize it was coming from a new (my GV number). I have never given out hte GV number & was only using it for voicemail capability.

I am not really interested in SMS through google. Any ideas on how to turn it back off? I logged into my GV account via the web browser & I dont see any options in the SMS section.

Thanks,

QUESTION--

might be a little off topic.

I love love love my EVO, (but) I'm an upgrade junkie. I also love the hdmi port and use it fairly frequently (God Bless you TeamWin). So.. I'm wondering if I can get a new phone.. say Nexus II or similar, root it..go CM and turn on the wifi/portable hot spot stuff, and with my rooted CM EVO, (that would be carrierless due to the replacement new phone), connect to the internet through my new phone, thereby allowing me to access Netflix, Hulu, HBOgo, etc.. and watch movies as I do now straight up? Can I connect the two through WIFI, and/or USB tethering, portable hotspot and access the internet that way with the EVO?
[EVO 4G General] RichTJ99:
As long as we are still on Google Voice...

So, if I choose option 1 & pay the 20 bucks to keep my old GV number, can I ever get out of sprint/GV integration?

Say I leave sprint, or just decide I have had enough google?

Also for the text messages, will they show up under the stock messaging app, or will i need to use the google voice app for texts?

Will the texts repopulate themselves in a reinstall?

Thanks,

Rich
[EVO 4G General] bee976:
yes you can get out of sprint/gv integration, however I think there is a time limit to do so...I am not sure about this $20 dollar option though.

yes you will have to use the google app for text messages, your old messages will be in the stock app but new messages will be redirected to the google app...this for me was a deal breaker.

[EVO 4G General] maxdamage2122:
Everything will work exactly the same except I think your battery will drain even faster. I know when I'm in an area with zero service my phone constantly searches for service and eats my battery. Not sure if the phone would still search for service if you don't have an actually service provider.
[EVO 4G General] ChickenArise:
You should be able to use airplane mode with wifi. It works for a friend of mine, although he does quite a bit less with it than you plan to do - he mostly uses spotify etc from the old phone.
[EVO 4G General] fiddy619:
Hmmm, honestly will it try to search for service if the phone is actually deactivated? Well either way your pretty much talking about using this in pretty close proximity of a wifi router of some sort (weather it be from tethering, or an actual router), so I'm going to assume that you will also have a power source readily available, so you can just charge while using your Supersonic...

Also like ChickenArise stated, airplane mode shuts down all radios except wifi...

[EVO 4G General] asoong:
Somewhat OT.

Regarding "You should be able to use airplane mode with wifi." - is that generally how things work or is this a perk for CM7 only?

I have an old hero on CM6 that I'd like to use to keep my 5 year old occupied with. I usually keep it on airplane mode using the status bar. If I remember correctly, when in airplane mode, wifi gets disabled. When I turn on wifi (again through the status bar widgets), airplane mode seems to be disabled and I get the wifi icon AND the data strength icon.

Am I going about this all wrong? Goal is to have wifi on but no data coming from sprint (3g or edge). Is that possible for all phones, including a hero on CM6?

BTW, I tried this with my Evo (CM7 N139) and it also doesn't seem to work for me. If I turn on airplane mode, all data - wifi or 3g gets disabled...

TIA
